New TSA Insignia
Overview
In June 2020, the Transportation Security Administration adopted a new insignia representing the agency’s mission, core values, and founding principles. It is a graphic representation of air, land and sea that reflects the transportation modes that TSA is charged with protecting.
The insignia integrates the same design elements as the TSA flag and uniform patch, and ensures we are presenting a cohesive brand image for the agency.
The icons and symbols used in the design were proposed by TSA employees during an effort launched to create TSA’s first flag, which was unveiled on September 11, 2018.
The design features an American eagle with its wings outstretched in a pose that signifies vigilance, commitment and protection.
The white, graphically-stylized American eagle sits centrally located inside rings of red and white against a field of blue, with its dynamically-feathered wings outstretched, breaking through the red and white containment rings to represent freedom of movement.
The eagle’s head, faces the same direction as the eagle in the seal of the Department of Homeland Security, representing our unity of effort with DHS and its component agencies.
The insignia includes nine stars and 11 rays that emanate from above the eagle in reference to the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States.
The new insignia will be implemented in phases on all existing assets and platforms over the coming months.
While TSA’s rebranding effort timeline has been impacted by the global pandemic, there is no better time than during a crisis of this magnitude to recommit ourselves to our mission and remind those we serve of the principles upon which we stand.
Now, more than ever, we continue to embody our core values and principles with the same sense of mission and purpose as the day we were founded.
The TSA insignia is a trademark of the Transportation Security Administration.
